I would think you could store these long term in oil. one way of preserving cheese, feta in particular is in jars of olive oil. I’m sure with some research it can be found possibly in one my cheese making books :0). How fabulous would these be after a few mths in the marinade!

I believe you could preserve these long term in oil. Feta in fact is a cheese preserved this way long term. I will have to check my cheese books to find specifics. I can only imagine how wonderful these would be after a few months prepared in this oil marinade mix!
